In the cross of Christ I glory

Author: Bowring Appears in 1,520 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:16 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me; Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more luster to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.

I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God's own Holy Word.

Hymn 34 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 97 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:16 First Line: Jesus, thy blessings are not few Lyrics: Jesus, thy blessings are not few, Nor is thy gospel weak; Thy grace can melt the stubborn Jew, And bow th' aspiring Greek. Wide as the reach of Satan's rage Doth thy salvation flow; 'Tis not confined to sex or age, The lofty or the low. While grace is offered to the prince, The poor may take their share; No mortal has a just pretence To perish in despair Be wise, ye men of strength and wit, Nor boast your native powers; But to his sovereign grace submit, And glory shall be yours. Come, all ye vilest sinners, come, He'll form your souls anew; His gospel and his heart have room For rebels such as you. His doctrine is almighty love; There's virtue in his name To turn the raven to a dove, The lion to a lamb.

Refrain: The story must be told, The story must be told; That Jesus died for sinners lost, The story must be told. 2 O the blessed gospel story, Of His meek and lowly birth,— And the welcome of the angels When they sang goodwill to earth;— Of the cross on which He suffered,— As by prophets seen of old,— Of His death and resurrection, Let the story now be told. [Refrain] 3 O the wondrous gospel story! There is life in ev’ry word; There is hope and consolation Where the message sweet is heard; Let us tell it to the weary, And its beauties all unfold; ‘Tis the only guide to heaven, And the story must be told.

The Gospel Shows the Father's Grace

Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:16-17 Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race, Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made the atoning sacrifice, And calls the souls with guilt oppressed To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness To robe our souls in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad; The weary, burdened souls it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its message learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess And praise the Lord, our righteousness.
